? The Cardinals are making the first of two trips to Memphis this month. The AAC Tournament will also be in the FedEx Forum, and if the standings stay as they are, U of L would be in line to potentially play Memphis in the semifinals.

? The teams are in much different places than they were the first time they met. U of L has won seven consecutive games and 11 of 12, while Memphis has struggled of late. The Tigers are 3-2 in the past five games, with narrow wins over AAC basement-dwellers UCF, Rutgers and Temple and a surprising loss at Houston.

? Memphis is the Cards' second-most-played rival, with today's meeting being the 89th. Only Cincinnati (99 games) has played U of L more in the Cards' 100 seasons.
